Auberge de Jeunesse

Djerba


This youth hostel occupies a building that's picturesque enough for the casual tourist to stop and snap a photo of, but the rooms (with two to four beds) are rudimentary, with nothing other than thin mattresses on concrete platforms – ask for one upstairs, as these are marginally nicer. Bathrooms are extremely basic, with limited hot water. No lockers, power points or wi-fi.
